Childproofing Your Home

7) Install Anchors to Secure Furniture, TVs and Other Appliances

Furniture, televisions and appliances can easily tip over and fall on children. These types of injuries are common and can result in death. To avoid these incidents, make sure to secure (anchor) these items to the wall or to the floor. These items may include but are not limited to TV stands, bookcases, bedroom furniture (dressers, chests, etc.), desks and stoves.
